  • Adolescent parenthood and HIV-infection in South Africa—Associations with child cognitive development

    Open AccessKathryn J Roberts, Lorraine Sherr et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    HIV, both directly and indirectly, impacts child development outcomes. The most severe impacts are for children infected with HIV, and those exposed but uninfected are also shown to have challenges–though less severe. However, little is known regarding the development of children born to adolescent mothers affected by HIV. This study aims to examine cognitive development for children born to adolescent mothers, comparing those children living wit…

  • Adolescent Motherhood and HIV in South Africa

    Open AccessKathryn J Roberts, Colette Smith et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2021

    The mental health of adolescents (10-19 years) remains an overlooked global health issue, particularly within the context of syndemic conditions such as HIV and pregnancy. Rates of pregnancy and HIV among adolescents within South Africa are some of the highest in the world. Experiencing pregnancy and living with HIV during adolescence have both been found to be associated with poor mental health within separate explorations. Yet, examinations of …

  • Engagement in care among youth living with parenterally-acquired HIV infection in Romania

    Cosmina Gingaras, Colette Smith et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2019

    Transition from adolescent to adult care can be challenging for youth living with HIV. We conducted a cohort study of youth born between 1985 and 1993 and infected with HIV parenterally, followed by the same medical team from age 15 years or first clinic visit until age 25 years or 30 November 2016. A longitudinal continuum-of-care was constructed, categorizing individuals' status for each month of follow-up as: engaged in care (EIC); not in care…

  • Resilience and Physical and Mental Well-Being in Adults with and Without HIV

    Open AccessJennifer McGowan, Jennifer A McGowan et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2017

    Resilience has been related to improved physical and mental health, and is thought to improve with age. No studies have explored the relationship between resilience, ageing with HIV, and well-being. A cross sectional observational study performed on UK HIV positive (N = 195) and HIV negative adults (N = 130). Associations of both age and 'time diagnosed with HIV' with resilience (RS-14) were assessed, and the association of resilience with depres…

  • Self-reported non-adherence to ART and virological outcome in a multiclinic UK study

    Lorraine Sherr, Fiona Lampe et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    Adherence is of fundamental importance to ART success. We examined the association of self-reported non-adherence with demographic factors, health and behaviour issues, and virological outcome, in a multi-clinic study. Seven hundred and seventy-eight HIV patients in five clinics in London and Brighton completed a questionnaire on adherence and HIV/health issues at baseline in 2005/6. For 486 subjects taking ART, non-adherence in the past week was…

  • Changes in public knowledge and attitudes to HIV/Aids in Wales, 1987 to 1992

    C Roberts, Carly A Roberts et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care1994

    This paper presents information on changes in public knowledge and attitudes to HIV/AIDS in Wales between 1987 and 1992. The results indicate that throughout this period the majority of adults in Wales were aware of the high risk of infection from sexual intercourse and sharing needles with, and coming into contact with the blood of, someone with HIV. Nevertheless, the proportion who said that sexual intercourse with someone with HIV carries a hi…

  • Complacency, risk perception and the problem of HIV education

    Gordon Macdonald, Colette SmithARTICLEAIDS Care1990

    Many public surveys on the issue of HIV and AIDS have concentrated on the relationship between attitudes and knowledge. Often this relationship has been found wanting or at most tenuous. A recent survey of 1,002 people in Wales has supported these earlier findings, but found additionally that discriminatory and complacent attitudes on AIDS or towards people with the 'AIDS virus' are held by a significant proportion of the population. The survey a…
